A fantastic football 15 of Rebels who were overlooked for All-Stars

Quirke has six Munster Championship medals, three Division 1 medals and 1 Division 2 medal, as well as the All-Ireland, won in 2010, yet the All-Star selectors overlooked him. Despite this, Cork football fans were truly appreciative of a goalkeeper that minded the Cork net from 2001 to 2013.

The ‘Yank’ would have hardly believed you if he had been told that he would win two All-Ireland’s and seven Munster titles when he arrived in north west Cork in the early 1980s. He formed a brilliant midfield partnership with another ‘blow-in’ Shea Fahy, as Cork battled Meath for the title of the best team of that era.

Debuted for Cork in 2008, and still going, but he never got to match dad Jimmy’s 1983 All-Star, despite scoring 9-76 in 53 appearances for Cork. His blistering pace has been a major asset for Cork for 12 years now, as he provides one of the last remaining links to that great 2010 winning team.
